Van Goes Lyrics by Being Dead

Eels

2024

[Intro]
I'm not trying to be mean or any of that
This is for your own good and
I'm not going to be traumatized
Because you want to be dumb

[Verse 1]
Day in and day out I work my job
Job that I could only dream to have
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?

[Verse 2]
I just have to clock in and clock out
I'd be myself but I'm not allowed
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?

[Chorus]
When I'm down and out (Being slapped)
What I picture (Being banged)
Is something greener (Getting crap)
Like some time to kill (Feeling shame)
Show me waterfront, I want serenity (Gotta be another way)
Show me something that I can't see (Let's get to a common placе)

[Post-Chorus]
Gather on the ground
I've got no morе time to waste
Run down!
Are you asking me to work some more?
O-kay
It's fine

[Verse 3]
Up at dawn and never see the sun
Counting down the moments ‘til I’m done
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?
How do you like it now?

[Chorus]
Life's a process (Being slapped)
But it can happen to you too (Being banged)
If you let 'em (Getting crap)
Get the best of you who? (Feeling shame)
It's your landlord and they love to give you grief (Gotta be another way)
Yeah, they really know how to do it (I'll just find myself a plot)

[Outro]
Live out on the land
Do what I want no second thought
Hobby!
If I didn't have to toil away
I'd have time to paint
Pushing my colors around the page
Van Gogh!
